I love meat and potatoes!

Its true...no matter how I try to eat super healthy this is the basis for all the dinner I make. It can get boring so I am always looking for ways to spice things up. Here is a MODIFIED version of a recipe I found. I say modified as I left out the grilled portabella mushroom and onions (yes I am a picky eater and I can't seem to change it!) What I loved is that this appears DECADENT and comes to 455 calories per serving. I am making it tonight and I can already tell I will love it!

Grilled Chicken (everything besides the chicken is to make a marinade, then grill chicken till done. Recipe also used mushrooms in this marinade and grilled as well)

Generic - Crushed Red Chili Pepper Flakes, 1 teaspoon 6cals
Trader Joe's Organic - Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil, 2 tbsp (15mL) 240cals

Sauce (it called for peppers seperate, but found peppers in the tomatoes to save a step. Could also add sauted onions if you like)
